I don’t even know what to charge for aligners.


If you’re unsure about pricing… you’ll always undercharge.

I did that for months.

I priced low because I was scared to lose the case.

But that just led to resentment — more work, less profit, no sustainability.

Then I switched to a model that made sense — for me and the patient.

Here’s how I price aligners now:

  • Take your lab fee (let’s say $1,200–$1,800)
  • Multiply it by 3x for your total fee — that builds in profit, chairtime, and refinements
  • Script the value confidently: “This is designed to minimize refinements and get you results faster. If we don't correct this problem now - it will cost you 5x in the future to fix.”

It’s not about being the cheapest.

It’s about being confident, clear, and consistent.

We breakdown pricing and how to frame the value to patients inside our Aligner Blueprint course. If you feel ready to take the first step to more confidence with aligners - check it out.

Most practices look the same. They take insurance, modify treatment to fit coverage, and neglect what is truly best for patients. That is why so many dentists get compared to the office next door. If you want to stand out, you need to differentiate. Here are 3 simple levers for differentiation: 1. Offer what you believe in. Even if it is not popular. Patients can feel when you truly believe in your treatment. 2. Hyper focus on the patient experience. From the first phone call to the moment...

When I worked in 11 different offices, I noticed something strange. Everyone was doing the same thing. Taking insurance. Modifying treatment to fit what was covered. Neglecting what was truly best for patients. And I went along with it until I realized my patients and I deserved better. The turning point came when I inherited another doctor’s patients. I started offering aligners. Something the previous dentist never even mentioned. The reactions were mixed. Some patients called me a scammer....

I recently read a newsletter from Alex Hormozi talking about how customers want a thing (ham) but they actually need something else (garlic). And it is our job to navigate this.

The dentist said yes, but only if the patient promised to wear his retainers. Deal. A few months in, the patient panicked. The teeth weren’t tracking. “Add...
